## About

Software Engineer at Bentley Systems\. I build the systems that other engineers build on top of\. In the past year, I've shipped an NLP\-to\-SQL agent that lets teams query databases in plain English \(adopted across multiple internal teams\), a gRPC client that constructs structural engineering models in real\-time via bidirectional streaming, and a micro\-frontend integration layer serving Bentley's unified platform across all product lines\. I reduced API response times by 60% through batch query optimization and cut 3D model analysis time by 85% with an automated benchmarking pipeline\. I won Bentley's company\-wide Architecture Kata; designing an event\-driven microservices architecture for real\-time trip consolidation across heterogeneous data sources and was recognized by the CTO, Julien Moutte, for the work\. I also write engineering deep dives on systems I find worth understanding like: how Chrome's Device Bound Session Credentials replace bearer cookies with TPM\-backed proof\-of\-possession, how AWS S3 turns unreliable HDDs into planet\-scale durable storage through erasure coding and repair loops\. I write because explaining systems is how I get better at building them\. LeetCode Knight: Top 5% globally, 1880\+ rating, 500\+ problems solved\. CodeChef Global Rank \#27\(April Long\)\. Smart India Hackathon National Finalist\. AWS AI ML Scholar\. IMO Silver Medalist\. Scholarship from Government of Jharkhand\. Core: Java, TypeScript, C\+\+, Node\.js\. Frameworks: Spring Boot, Redis, React, Electron\. Infrastructure: gRPC/Protobuf, Docker, Azure \(App Insights, Octopus Deploy\), LaunchDarkly, REST APIs\. Architecture: microservices, event\-driven systems, distributed systems design\. Currently targeting SDE 2 / Backend Engineer / Full\-stack roles working on high\-scale distributed systems, service\-oriented architectures, cloud\-native infrastructure, containers, CI/CD pipelines, and performance\-critical applications\.
